A Practical Guide to IBM i Authority Collection
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
This session explores practical applications for Authority Collection, including standard and "creative" use cases. Authority Collection can be used to reduce the security exposure of privileged user profiles and to lock down objects/libraries/IFS. This session covers the different types of authority collection, how to turn them on/off, how to review and understand the data, and how to turn that knowledge into action. We will cover these things in detail, along with some “outside the box” ways of using this technology to answer questions and solve problems.

From Logs to Action, Integrating IBM i into Your SIEM Ecosystem
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
IBM i systems often run critical business applications but remain invisible to most security teams. A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform helps centralize and analyze security data for threat detection and compliance—but what does that mean for IBM i? This session defines SIEM, outlines key IBM i data sources like audit journals and system logs. Learn how to make IBM i a visible, actionable part of your security strategy.

How AI is Transforming IBM i Security
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the security landscape, and IBM i environments are no exception. As AI-driven technologies become integral to enterprise operations, they introduce both unprecedented opportunities and new vulnerabilities. This session examines how AI is influencing IBM i security - from accelerating threat detection and predictive risk analysis to redefining compliance and access control strategies. We’ll explore practical examples such as free and company endorsed AI chatbots and how they can enable inexperienced users to bypass security configurations. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of AI’s dual role as a security enabler and a potential attack vector, along with actionable guidance for enhancing IBM i security approach to this evolving paradigm.

Security Visibility in the Age of AI
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
This session clearly articulates the risk of AI on IBM i, particularly the potential impact of autonomous agents working with data on systems that are running legacy security configurations and offers real-world visibility solutions to monitor agents and protect your data. Do you know what your agents are capable of doing? Do you know what they are doing in reality? Can you prove your agentic AI controls are actually working? In this session you will learn about all the built-in IBM i tooling for monitoring Agentic Profile activity throughout the OS and database. You'll learn specific commands, SQL statements and reporting concepts to pull together and understand this information. Head back to the office armed with all the knowledge you need to safely implement Agentic AI on IBM i.

Stop Sending Passwords in the Clear and Secure ACS the Right Way
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
Unsecured IBM i connections still exist in many environments, exposing credentials and data in transit. In this session, we’ll walk through how to deploy Access Client Solutions (ACS) securely and enforce encrypted sessions across your environment. We’ll cover how SSL/TLS works on IBM i, how digital certificates establish trust, and how to configure both the server (DCM) and client (ACS) to require secure communication. We’ll also address common ACS deployment challenges—like user-controlled configurations—and how to lock down functionality and standardize your implementation. You’ll leave with practical steps to move from unsecured access to a consistent, encrypted, and audit-ready configuration.

Building a Successful IFS Security Strategy
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
The Integrated File System (IFS) remains one of the most overlooked areas in IBM i security. Many organizations either underestimate the risks posed by an unsecured IFS or lack clarity on how to effectively protect it. This oversight can leave sensitive data vulnerable to unauthorized access, manipulation, malware, and theft. In this session, attendees will learn practical strategies for securing the IFS and discover the tools and configurations necessary to implement robust protections. We’ll also explore the latest security features introduced in IBM i 7.6, which offer expanded capabilities to safeguard the IFS environment.
